The Finale

I'm glad the team behind WWDITS knew when to let go. The sixth series was still wonderful, but like a pair of comfortable, much loved slippers, the wear was beginning to show.

In the finale, we were treated to a gentle goodbye. The group all together, wrapping things up for us, as the documentary team did the same. Personally, I'd like to thank the actors, writers and crew for such a wonderful ride. I've laughed so hard sometimes, I've woken the cat. And special credit to the costumers and set designers for giving our vampires such a sumptuous world to live in. Parting is such sweet sorrow. But I can't wait to see what all the cast do next.

I was so hoping for much more than this.

Maybe it's my fault because I wanted one of my all time favorite television shows to go out with a nuclear blast.

It was a pop rock at best. 😢 I'll be honest. A few times I wondered if they didn't just let AI write this one. Seriously. I considered that.

I will always love this show and this in no way takes away from that. Nothing ever will.

Just sad mainly for what could have been.

But I'm sure that's much easier said than done.

I have the maddest respect for Jemaine and Taika and they will go down as two of the greatest.

These guys did an incredible job.

Laszlo's monster, or more specifically his libido, is causing problems in the vampire house leading to some extreme solutions being planned. Nandor wants to build a lair under the house and become a crime fighter. These issues all become meaningless when the household receives some big news.

The show ends. I want to say sadly but it is ending at the right time.

For five seasons it was brilliant. Most importantly, for five seasons the the quality and freshness of the show did not waiver showing that the writers hadn't run out of ideas.

However, Season 6 did feel a bit stale and didn't quite have the zip of the previous seasons. It's still great but just not in the same league as what came before. A good thing then that it ended as otherwise it would definitely have overstayed its welcome. Kudos to the producers for pulling the plug when they realised that the show had run its course.

This, the finale, is consistent with the standard of S6 with an episode that is hardly a bang but is not a whimper either. There's still some good comedy, some interesting character-based sub-plots and, befitting a finale, a tying up of loose ends and closure to the series.

Farewell.

This episode was far better than I expected to be honest. Because the whole season it didn't feel like it was building up to a finale, and they definitely touch on this here and go full meta about how sudden the ending feels.

So for the final season itself, it's been pretty mid compared to the rest of the show, but it's been mostly 7/10, and not one episode reached the heights of the previous 5 seasons unfortunately.

My biggest problem with the final season is how disjointed it felt from the beginning to the end. Each episode had its own different story and even the ones you thought were gonna lead to something big in the next episode, like episode 9, actually just got concluded in the very same episode. And it's not like the other seasons' episodes didn't have their own different storylines that ended in the same episode. But they actually had a full season storyline that built up little by little and crescendoed in the finale. Every season had its own overall plot. You'll think that this season is gonna have that too with the Jerry thing in the beginning, but it never goes anywhere.

And the episodes themselves this season were very underwhelming apart from maybe 3 episodes including this finale. The episodes were not even as half as funny as the previous seasons'. They didn't have the creativity you felt even in the 5th season. And without a clear overall storyline for the season where you think the story might end up at, the whole season just felt unnecessary and underwhelming from the beginning to the end.

Now as for the finale, I feel like they did a decent job considering everything I said. It actually does make sense to end it like this based on the context of the show and its documentary nature, and they touch on that a lot. So I'm not disappointed in the finale or how they ended things, I just wish this finale was a follow-up to funnier, more creative, and better-written episodes before it.

Like they said comedically in this finale, they should've ended the show in season 5 and made a similar finale for that to the end of the show after Gizmo decided the vampire life isn't for him.

Overall I think the finale was pretty good and after seeing it I honestly don't know how else you can wrap up this story. The finale was also full of references to the show's better and more famous jokes, and a lot of "remember this?", but it didn't really feel like forced to me or that the writers were desperate to artificially make you think you liked this finale because it had callbacks and memberberries. It's a bittersweet ending but they do a decent job of wrapping it up in a somewhat satisfying way. The show is still a 9/10 to me even though this season should've brought it down to an 8/10, but the first 5 seasons are too good and way too funny more than this season is bad, so the whole show gets a 9/10 from me even with the underwhelming finale.

A great ending to a great show, it had everything. It gave viewers the emotional closure they deserved. A lot of shows biff it when it comes to sticking the landing. I can't tell you how many comments I've written about this very topic. Check me out in the discussion threads on Reddit, IndieWire, Variety, Deadline, TV Guide, TV Insider, IMDb, Hollywood Reporter, and Den of Geek.

On the other hand, it would have been a perfect ending if Guillermo had become a vampire. They really should have finished filming at that point.

But the vampires really had a great time these years; they've had lots of laughs, sucked lots of blood, and...
